Happy November,
Hello! This message is for all Nintendo fans out there.


It’s an exciting time to be a Pokemon fan - not only is {{Ash}} finally the World Champion after more than two decades, but {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} are finally here!
September 20th starts [[Bulbapedia:Cross-Wiki Week|Cross-Wiki Week]]! What is '''Cross-Wiki Week'''? It's an annual event hosted by the [[Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance]] to encourage collaboration across all of our NIWA wiki partners! This 10-day event (spanning two weekends) aims for editors to contribute to franchises outside of their normal activity. For full details, visit the official event page [https://niwanetwork.org/cross-wiki-week-2024/ here].


The wiki staff team have been hard at work getting ready for the swathe of new information and content that’s about to hit us, and as ever we rely on the contributions of editors to ensure Bulbapedia is useful to fans as they venture through [[Paldea]]. Before the arrival of the new generation, here are a few updates that you should know about.
We encourage everyone to give it a try, even if it's only a few edits!


Firstly, we are happy again to be able to report that the wiki will once again remain open for editing during the release period. We hope you can help! If you’re planning on uploading information , we have a few key asks and reminders for you to keep in mind:
'''For participating editors''':
* When trying out a new wiki, be sure to check their policies and guidelines on how to help.
* Use the hashtag ''#cww'' in your edit summaries for a chance to win a Nintendo eShop card! Two winners will be drawn.


* Please ensure that the information you upload is from reputable original sources and not simply lifted from other fansites
'''For those new to [[Bulbapedia]]''', please check out the [[Bulbapedia:Cross-Wiki Week|Cross-Wiki Week landing page]], the [[Bulbapedia:Editor's Hub|Editor's Hub]], and the [[Bulbapedia:Bulletin Board|Bulletin Board]] for ways to help out. We look forward to seeing the expertise you bring to our Pokémon encyclopedia.
* Please respect the directions of the Staff team; some of our rules and processes might not be obvious at first glance, but the team is there to help you perfect your contributions
* Please follow the code of conduct and the manual of style at all times!
* Please report any performance issues or bad ad activity to staff


In other news, in an effort to do some fall cleaning in preparation for Scarlet & Violet’s release, the staff will be tackling our backlog of pages needing attention. If you have any candidates you had comments or thoughts about, please do not hesitate to share on the relevant talk page or with a member of staff so we can ensure your input is kept in mind.  
This year, the primary focus is on editing ''wikis you don't usually edit''. Make sure to branch out! With many recent game releases and re-releases on [[Nintendo Switch Online]], this is a great time to ensure those smaller franchises get the attention they deserve.


Finally, it is with sadness that I announce that long-time staff member {{u|Adil}} has decided he would step-down from his role as Head of Anime. Adil has been a staff member for over 11 years and we are happy to hear he’s agreed to sticking around in a lesser capacity. Taking his place is another long time and hard working staff member doing great work. Please help me congratulate {{u|Force Fire}}, who has agreed to step in as the new Head of Anime. Congratulations!  
Good luck and happy editing!


If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out via our Discord or forums. Good treasure hunting, Trainers!

Hello! This message is for all Nintendo fans out there.

September 20th starts Cross-Wiki Week! What is Cross-Wiki Week? It's an annual event hosted by the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance to encourage collaboration across all of our NIWA wiki partners! This 10-day event (spanning two weekends) aims for editors to contribute to franchises outside of their normal activity. For full details, visit the official event page here.

We encourage everyone to give it a try, even if it's only a few edits!

For participating editors:

  • When trying out a new wiki, be sure to check their policies and guidelines on how to help.
  • Use the hashtag #cww in your edit summaries for a chance to win a Nintendo eShop card! Two winners will be drawn.

For those new to Bulbapedia, please check out the Cross-Wiki Week landing page, the Editor's Hub, and the Bulletin Board for ways to help out. We look forward to seeing the expertise you bring to our Pokémon encyclopedia.

This year, the primary focus is on editing wikis you don't usually edit. Make sure to branch out! With many recent game releases and re-releases on Nintendo Switch Online, this is a great time to ensure those smaller franchises get the attention they deserve.

Good luck and happy editing!
